A DRIVING FORCE IN THE CLEAN ENERGY TRANSITION
The energy revolution is accelerating. For this transition to be sustainable, the world needs ESG-conscious leaders to develop holistic solutions that benefit both communities and the environment.
SUSTAINABILITY IS EMBEDDED IN OUR MINERALOGICAL SIGNATURE
Graphite underpins countless applications for ELECTRIFICATION, RENEWABLE ENERGIES and CLEANTECH. Our business model supports both global decarbonization efforts and our vision of a sustainable future for today’s and tomorrow’s generations.
Mining and processing a limited natural resource like graphite is a privilege that requires a high level of responsibility from our teams and business partners to engage in ethical, environmentally sound, and sustainable practices.
We are committed to creating value at every level. Carbon neutrality is not a goal but a foundation. The same applies to good governance and our partnership with First Nations and local communities.
We are Nouveau Monde Graphite, a driving force in the clean energy transition thanks to our advanced materials extracted and transformed in a sustainable way.
OUR OBJECTIVES
As per our Sustainability Policy, our commitment to sustainable development is based on performance targets and an action plan covering all of NMG’s projects and business units so that ESG best practices are applied before the full roll-out of our Phase-2 commercial activities.
We created our roadmap based on the material issues identified with our stakeholders and in line with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
OUR INTEGRATED PERFORMANCE
By developing a solid enterprise, with sound economic parameters, a supportive shareholder base, and long-term vision, we are positioning NMG as a catalyst for environmental, social, and financial benefits.
Our business model is based on climate opportunities that ensure NMG’s resilience to the risks associated with climate change.
ENVIRONMENTAL EXCELLENCE
When it comes to developing and operating our projects, our goal is to limit our environmental footprint, maximize the contribution of our products to a low-carbon world, and seek opportunities to foster a circular economy.
From responsible mining to ecotechnologies, we show environmental leadership at every level.
LEADERSHIP AND ACCOUNTABILITY
We put in the time and effort to incorporate ESG best practices into every area of the Company and at every stage of our development to minimize our footprint and maximize our contribution.
BUSINESS ETHICS
Whether with our communities, regulators, or customers, we approach every interaction, meeting, and partnership with the same values of safety, responsibility, openness, integrity and entrepreneurial spirit.
As our company grows, we are implementing policies and practices to strengthen our commitment to transparency, fairness and equality, and outstanding management.
Sustainability knows no competition nor boundaries. We are driving collaboration across our sector and beyond, to truly reinvent models of resource extraction and transformation.
NMG continues to be an active member of Espace nature Haute-Matawinie, a non-profit organization leading the deployment of our territory integration plan.
Since 2021, NMG and Caterpillar are collaborating to develop, test, and supply an integrated all-electric fleet for the Matawinie Mine.
An active member of the Global Battery Alliance, NMG subscribes to the objective of establishing a circular and sustainable battery value chain through public-private leadership and partnerships.
TRANSPARENCY
We take responsibility for our current and long-term impact on the people, environment, technology, and economy affected by our activities.
Our ESG approach is based on continuous stakeholder engagement, as well as ongoing monitoring of impacts, risks and opportunities using recognized sustainability and disclosure frameworks.
Our ESG Strategy team is responsible for steering and overseeing this roadmap. It is empowered to engage with all internal departments as well as our communities, First Nations and markets to raise the bar.
We report on our efforts rigorously, diligently and transparently:
IN TUNE WITH OUR ENVIRONMENT
We prioritize open dialogue to guide, enhance and align our climate efforts. This approach instills sensitivity, resilience and ambition in our business strategy to support our long-term climate performance.
